| Résumé : | A first-winter Rufous-tailed Robin Luscinia sibilans was discovered on Fair Isle, Shetland, on 23rd October 2004. This represents the first record of this species for Britain and the Western Palearctic. Its occurrence coincided with an exceptional influx into Shetland of birds originating from Siberia and Central Asia, suggesting that all were affected by the prevailing weather conditions at that time. The timing of migration and weather patterns over northern Scotland are reviewed. |
